Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a coupling construction for coupling press rolls forming a nip in which a large linear load exists, particularly an extended-nip, and a method for joining together a pair of rolls in a nip in which a large linear load exists, especially an extended-nip.
  • a press nip formed between a pair of extended-nip rolls typically consists of a pair of rolls such as SYM-ZL and SYM-BELT rolls.
  • a special feature of an extended-nip is the high linear load applied therein to dewater the web.
  • the maximum linear load is generally of an order of about 1200 kN/m.
  • a conventional screw coupling arrangement for the rolls is not possible, because, in order to overcome the linear load, roughly 130 screws per roll would be needed. This would be uneconomical in practice.
  • tie members are provided to join together and couple the bearing housings of the rolls in a nip in which a large linear load exists, particularly an extended-nip press.
  • the tie members are connected with the bearing-housing constructions so that, when the coupling is being uncoupled, the tie members can be pivoted into such a position that the uncoupled roll/mantle belt/bearing can be removed.
  • Each tie member is linked with one of the bearing housings.
  • the tie member is arranged to pivot in relation to the bearing housing and so that the end of the tie member is locked by means of a wedge effect with the respective bearing housing. Movement of the tie member takes place by means of a hydraulic cylinder or other suitable pivot means.
  • two tie members are employed at each roll end, and the coupling construction is symmetric in relation to the vertical central axis (Y axis) of the construction, which preferably aligns with axis passing through the center points of the press rolls in the extended-nip.
  • the coupling arrangement comprises an articulation point at each end of the tie member which permits the tie member to be operated as desired so that the tie member is linked in such a manner so as to be pivoted at either one of the bearing housings, either the upper or the lower bearing housing.
  • the coupling arrangement comprises an articulation point at each end of the tie member which permits the tie member to be operated as desired so that the tie member is linked in such a manner so as to be pivoted at either one of the bearing housings, either the upper or the lower bearing housing.
  • it is easy to replace the belt mantle around the extended-nip press roll by uncoupling the connection between the bearing housings of this roll and pivoting the tie members about an articulation point in connection with the bearing housing of the back-up roll.
  • the ultimate fixing of the tie member to the constructions of the bearing housing is carried out by means of screw members or equivalent fastening means.
  • the uncoupling of the tie member from the friction joint is carried out, in the first stage, by means of the unscrewing of screw members or unfastening the equivalent fastening means.
  • the shifting of the tie member itself apart from the bearing housing in operative engagement therewith takes place by means of a hydraulic cylinder.
  • the coupling construction in accordance with the invention is sufficiently simple and, yet, easily operable. Also, the coupling construction does not require a large amount of space and the nip forces do not have to be transferred to the frame constructions. In this case, an expensive and spacious outside frame system is not required providing additional savings.
  • the coupling construction of the invention is also well suitable for modernizations of existing extended-nips.
  • the coupling construction between the extended-nip press rolls comprises pivotally linked tie members by whose means the extended-nip press rolls have been connected together detachably by the intermediate of their bearing housings.
  • the tie member is connected with either one of the bearing housings, e.g., the upper one connected to the upper roll in the nip or the lower one connected to the lower roll in the extended-nip press.
  • the extended-nip press rolls are joined together by their ends by means of two tie members.
  • the tie members are placed symmetrically in relation to the vertical axis (Y axis) and can be selectively connected with either one of the bearing housings. As such, by means of the selective coupling, either the upper bearing housing or the lower bearing housing (and roll connected thereto) can be removed/serviced.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of an extended-nip press arrangement of a paper machine/board machine.
  • FIG. 2 shows the extended-nip press arrangement viewed in the machine direction and partly in section.
  • FIG. 3A shows an extended-nip press arrangement in accordance with the invention with the rolls of the extended-nip press joined together at their respective bearing housings.
  • FIG. 3B shows the arrangement as shown in FIG. 3A viewed in the direction of the arrow K 1 in FIG. 3A.
  • FIG. 4A is an axonometric exploded view of the parts of the coupling construction between the rolls in the arrangement shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B.
  • FIG. 4B illustrates the engagement of the cylinder S with the middle frame 21a 2 and with the tie member 14a 2 .
  • FIG. 4C illustrates the engagement of the tie member 14a 2 with the frame R 2 by means of a screw, by means of which screw the tie member 14a 2 can also be detached from the engagement with the frame part R 2 .
  • FIG. 5A shows an operation stage of the device in accordance with the invention in which the lower roll can be serviced.
  • FIG. 5B shows a stage of the method in accordance with the invention in which the upper roll can be lifted off, for example, for servicing, the coupling means remaining in connection with the bearing housing of the lower roll.

  • the lower extended-nip press roll 11 comprises a flexible closed glide-belt mantle F arranged to run along the face of the loading shoe, i.e., of the glide shoe 12b.
